Class Blog Numero Dos.
I have taken a few English classes in my day and to be honest i have never liked any of them. They have all been boring, exaggerated, and over all very uninteresting. The fact that i dont like reading textbooks and dont really like writing probably have a lot to do with my bad experiences. Im not bad at writing but im not excellent. I figure after 14 years of schooling anybody can be proficient at writing. In my first year of college i took two english classes and wound up dropping both because i couldn't keep up with the writing assignments. So far in this class i've been doing better. As of right now i dont have any plans of dropping this class or anything. I think it just took me a couple of trys to find a class i could keep up with. I also dont want to fail at writing anymore! I say this jokingly but at the same time seriously. Now I realize that i've just been talking about myself for a while, and i wouldn't even want to read this. So if you actually sat and read my boring story then make it worth your time and leave me a comment. Tell me about your day or something.

My Response to Shitty First Drafts
I love this piece of writing! I can relate to her every word even as far as her analogies and witty sarcasm. To be honest reading this article makes me want to go write a paper. And if you know me your jaw would drop hearing me say that. I really like the tangents she uses to relate her text to her audience. Like the one about her priest friend or the one who says to himself every morning "It's not like you don't have a choice, because you do--you can either type or kill yourself." I can’t speak for everyone, but for me reading her text is very fluid and makes a lot of sense to me. Even writing this blog is easier for me after reading her article. Her examples were also very helpful. The way she described her food reviews was very funny.
